The Reading Bug
What would it be like to have to parent Bart Simpson or
Angelica Pickles? Every day, many parents and teachers
struggle with challenging (and lovable) children who have
wilful personalities. These are often kids who are stubborn,
defiant, determined, free-spirited or just plain difficult. Yet
while they may be hard work, they are often the movers and
shakers of the future. Many of history’s great achievers,
political leaders and national figures were forceful children.

All Dogs have ADHD
Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 30/11/2006 - 65 pages
All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome takes a playful look at Asperger
Syndrome (AS), drawing inspiration from the feline world in a way
that will strike a chord with all those who are familiar with AS.
Delightful colour photographs of cats bring to life familiar
characteristics such as sensitive hearing, scampering at the first sign
of being stroked, and particular eating habits. Touching, humorous
and insightful, this book evokes the difficulties and joys of raising a
child who is different and leaves the reader with a sense of the
dignity, individuality, and potential of people with AS.
All Dogs Have ADHD takes an inspiring and affectionate look
at Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
